The following questions and answers examine the PLE (Pioneer Little Europe, an advocacy of actual Stormfronts of the street for the Pioneer European) building strategy within the context of Western Civilization:

Question: As there's a distinct resemblance between PLEs and the "polis" or city-state of ancient Greece, judging by the emphasis placed on establishing communities with speakers forums, are PLEs intended to somehow mimic them?

Answer: Not really. The West constantly evolves its forms. PLEs are actually inspired by a close observation of how the competitors and opponents of Whites routinely eat up the living space of the existing type of White community. A PLE's resemblance to a polis in ancient Greece merely confirms it's the solution.

Question: The ancient Greeks celebrated their mystery religion at Eleusis, which was an intentional stirring of the people's spirit, and various Christians sects offer varying degrees of a similar stirring within their own congregations; so where exactly would the people's spirit be stirred within a PLE?

Answer: If you closely examine the various non-community cults of White Nationalism today, you'll see that a similar stirring happens only occasionally, such as on weekends, because the maximum effect can only emerge from a true community being gathered and sustained.

Initially, the PLE's supporters will arrive much as they already are - some even depressed, but there will be a sporadic stirring. And in large enough numbers, WNs will eventually swamp all the local faith and philosophical organizations with a strong contingent to influence each one.

The community nature of that, seizing the entire local living space, will be facilitated by all the different belief spins that White Nationalists will engage. And as they challenge the anti-White mindset all across the living space you'll see a corresponding rise in the spirit. The people's spirit will also ebb and flow, becoming especially strong whenever the entire community senses it is being challenged.

As all that goes on, much as happened here at Stormfront, there will be a partial synthesis of people's views, but any non-conformists will still be able to continue without any great change.

Question: Patrick Buchanan authored the pessimistically titled 'The Death of the West.' Is it really too late for us?

Answer: It's the publishers who usually decide a book's title, and so what Buchanan actually says in that book is the following:

"Traditionalists should emulate Roman converts. The empire still merited their allegiance, but they separated themselves from old comrades and customs and created a new Christian culture in their own families and within the fellowship of the converted."

In other words, Buchanan's view is that the present form of the West is dying but he recommends forming a new one.

Question: And how does the PLE plan line up with that?

Answer: Pioneer Little Europes are advocated as the seed of a future form of Western Civilization, but it's still too early to know which traditional Christian values will be carried over.

Question: Buchanan has both feet firmly planted in the system, and isn't a militant, so how does PLE compare on that aspect?

Answer: The only official militant creed in a PLE is its grassroots or local Legionism, which has both military-veteran and cultural forms. This acts as an umbrella tradition for all White Nationalists, whatever their personal beliefs about better or more radical alternatives. And the only religious recommendation, however you feel about it at the moment, is to recognize that there have been both Christian and pagan contributions to Western Civilization.

Question: In 5th century BC Pericles created an enormous home for the gods on the Acropolis, and its center of attraction was the Parthenon that's still there today, so what did Pericles have in his approach that we would find useful

Answer: Pericles went about things in a manner that could be compared to such successful American leaders as Long and Roosevelt (or even the more positive social building phase of Europe's prewar fascisms and national socialism), as those projects on the Acropolis inspired people to work together. And PLEs will deliver similar results, as the energies and special values of our own people are released for a cultural revival.

Question: Aren't PLEs really too small scale for us, especially when compared to the power and grandeur of the Roman Empire?

Answer: At its high point Rome was impressive, but historians have also determined that it started as one little town. And who would ever have projected that the humble and impoverished followers of a religious sect would inherit it in its maturity?

Question: In the PLE Prospectus there's a statement that says "In the beginning was the word." Was that particular PLE idea derived from the Judeo-Christian tradition or National Socialist Germany, as we see it in both?

Answer: That actually begins, appropriately, before the rise of Western Civilization. Thoth is an Egyptian god of letters (among other attributes), and represents the insight that society's existence is dependent on a peculiar metaphysic of words and meanings. The Greeks called Thoth "Hermes Trismegistus."

Later this insight shows up in the Jewish holiday story of Hannakah, where lights symbolize words and Jews are reminded that they must remain lit for Jewish survival. Then this shows up in the New Testament gospel of John, and Germany's National Socialists repeat it early in the twentieth century.

The materials of a PLE culture shop, therefore, should include materials which lay a public claim on the White aspect of ancient Egypt and its culture.

Question: You've said that the Old White community doesn't fit the correct definition of an ETHNIC GROUP (as in race and culture), because it doesn't maintain its territorial integrity, but that PLEs would fit the requirement by raising up an uncontrolled White Nationalist culture that repels outsiders. Is there a precedent anywhere for this more detailed approach to defining a community?

Answer: Yes, there is. The Oldest Japanese community in the continental United States is in San Francisco. Outsiders call that place Japantown, and many insiders translate Japan as Nihon and town as machi. But those who really know what it's about say Nihonjin machi which means Japanese people.

As Japantown is really an ethnic group and not merely a piece of real estate, when it began to falter financially and was in danger of dissolving, Mayor Newsom suggested that the area simply be zoned to exclude all non-Japanese.

Question: As no mayor - liberal or otherwise - is probably going to seek zoning for Whites, and even most WN leaders aren't making much of an effort at community building yet, how would PLEs survive without a similar level of cooperation or non-interference from the establishment?

Answer: PLEs would serve as vessels of a cultural revival, releasing an "uncontrolled White Nationalist culture" in the target area for all outsiders to voluntarily and legally flee.

Question: Today's political establishment leaves White people out in the rain, and PLEs are described as their "arks of survival," but what does that actually mean?

Answer: It's another hint that our survival strategy (PLE) is a modern extension of our heritage. And whether WNs are motivated by the biblical story about Noah and his family surviving a great flood, or of a very similar Greek story about Deucalion enduring when Zeus flooded the earth, White people need an ark.

It's time to gather every resource into the PLE target area that will enable us to survive. That includes our most conscious men, women, and families, everything they normally needed before, and as many cultural revival products as they can generate in order to reach other Whites.

Question: As PLE is actually "PLE-Legionism," do any of the previous methods of defence in Western Civilization bear any resemblence to this modern strategy?

Answer: The Greeks often encouraged their opponents to battle them near their polis, as the support of its people and resources tended to tip the balance in their favor.

Unfortunately, all too many "modern Greek warriors" in White Nationalism registered their protests without bothering about community support (PLEs), believing that they could simply shock the Old White community into wakefulness. But the people these were willing even to die for didn't have the kind of cultural preparation that would ever allow them to understand, so now those warriors sit in jail.

It is also worth mentioning, as PLEs are the vessels of a much needed cultural revival, that the Greco-Roman root of the word Legion means to gather.

An ancient relationship between those words allows us to place an emphasis on one or the other during PLE organizing, depending on whether it's for militant or peaceful purposes.

An example of this in American culture is that any LEGAL president of the United States is also the commander and chief of the armed forces. And that was the traditional extension of the legion idea into politics when Whites actually had a social compact to validate it. What's going on today is not, therefore, legal.

We recognize similar characteristics all across American culture; and traditional American community gatherings in all their Norman Rockwell familiarity were an acceptable form of "cultural legionism." Many of our opponents understand this instinctively, and our people need to understand as well.

The opponents of Whites have frequently attempted to represent this peculiar arrangement as a form of fascism or national socialism, even making an issue of how similar symbols are utilized throughout US government, but "legionism" here has long been applied to very different circumstances and values.

Question: Those militants you spoke of, who remain in jail because of a lack of community support, have political supporters who will also reject the military and cultural legion tradition of PLE organizing, but what would be the advantages of coming over to it on a local or grassroots level?

Answer: To begin with, whether a person is militant, political, or culture oriented, they are invited to come as they are into a PLE.

Within the PLE the more militant are openly and legally invited to support the local PLE veteran's post, which is the only approved "militant" front.

If they reject that, and some will, they can still establish themselves elsewhere (within or outside the PLE), but the PLE's residents may be in some ways critical of them.

On the other hand, those who choose the legion tradition, which Whites created and reclaim in the PLE as an ethnic creation, can more credibly claim that they have the authority to do whatever they need to do.

Question: Can you provide a few examples on how an entire community becomes a form of resistance?

Answer: Beginning in the American Civil War, and much more routinely during World War 2, entire cities were destroyed when their civilians and resources were understood to be prolonging the war.

Then by the 1960s, when the strategies of the political/cultural/lifestyle community emerged during peacetime in the US, it was realized that even certain types of community cultures were capable of subtly overthrowing or repelling opponents.

And Black, homosexual, and Chinese communites continue to displace Old style White communities and expand in this manner. None are ever tripped up by civil rights legislation, even though they are obviously segregated, because their opponents simply don't want to have anything to do with them.

This leaves White Nationalists with a decision to make: Shall they go on believing that someone or something is capable of stopping them from forming their own power centers (PLE commmunities), or will they see the opportunity to break out at last with this peculiar new strategy that promises so much.

Question: One of the first and provisional symbols for PLE was a stock design from Stormfront that was first associated with the Royal House of Spain's presidio system, and later the 6th US Army in California. What's does it mean to PLE people?

Answer: Spain's first use of such militant communities, or presidios, began in Morocco in 1570. And there evolved various forms of them across Northern Mexico and California. The word presidio is derived from ancient Rome's Latin word for a garrisoned place, praesidium. This is all largely symbolic in a PLE, as the only official militants are with the local veteran's legion post.

Question: You're an early advocate of something called "White Rights," as is David Duke, but in all seriousness don't you think Whites already have their rights?

Answer: You're apparently referring to our "individual rights," but what Whites urgently need the most is a restoration of their group or community rights.

Question: What's the difference, and is it important?

Answer: For most of the history of Western Civilization there was an emphasis on group rights, then the emphasis on individual rights emerged in the early part of the sixteenth century. The individual rights revolution continued growing, and that was good, but by the 1950s it was ignorantly being extended to Blacks within our ethnic space.

That's when the group or community rights of our people began collapsing. To grasp the significance of all this, imagine the reaction of the world if outsiders were to suddenly begin demanding "equal rights" within any Chinatown; including employment, joining social organizations, or purchasing real estate. That would more quickly be interpreted as a campaign of genocide.

Question: How do we know what the founding fathers intended?

Answer: When designing the Bill of Rights the founders drew most of their inspiration from the Roman Republic's approximately five centuries (509 B.C. to 27 B.C. ), as they subscribed to what is called "classic republicanism," a view holding a central principle about avoiding diversity.

That's the observation that the more people have in common the better they will treat each other. The unwanted diversity could be classes, and certainly races if one accepts the evidence that the founding fathers owned slaves and clearly expressed that they were excluding native Indians in the Declaration of Independence. And until the American Civil war, even the supreme court routinely ruled that the documents of the founders were intended only for White people.

Question: Michael Novak, a highly celebrated Christian philosopher who's contributed to National Review, says in his book 'On Two Wings' that, despite the separation of church and state on the surface of what America's founding fathers advocated, that one entire wing of their inspiration was Judeo-Christian.

Nowak not only begins his book with that emphasis, but says that we're still using those Judeo-Christian metaphysics today. Is this going to change with the rise of the PLEs, where a reborn or new type of White community comes into being?

Answer: To construct that two winged metaphysic Novak speaks of, the founding fathers drew from all across Western Civilization, and they saw those religious and non-religious values holding society together invisibly.

Additionally, what's narrowly viewed as Judeo-Christian can actually be traced back to the community building contributions of the Egyptians, Babylonians, Sumerians, and Arabians, among others.

It's very similar to the way Europeans only received the intellectual accomplishments of the Greeks after centuries of Arab custodianship, but we're still a separate people from the Arabs or the Jews.

Question: Why are PLE supporters (WNs, racially conscious Whites) asked to concentrate themselves within an area targeted for takeover within today's obsolete type of White community?

Contrary to what's widely accepted, the existing type of "White community" is an obsolete cultural form, and we need to raise up the next one, which will be racially conscious. The time tested way to do this is much like igniting a starter bundle of sticks and paper in the fire-place.

This is why Irish Nationalists concentrated themselves in Dublin between the 1890s and 1922, and why German Nationalists concentrated themselves in Munich in the 1920s. In fact, the latter made it even more formal and desigated actual "block organizers" which were the most prolific leadership positon in the NSDAP.

Question: Why do PLEs especially welcome a certain percentage of the "difficult and feral" WNs? And are there ideological sources for reading into this further?

ANSWER: We do it because it's a rule of nature that whether a man is without a proper cultural home (a community) or a housecat is without the shelter of a human's home, each will revert to a feral, hard, and unpredictable condition. And an important part of our culture revival is devoted to recovering people.

Today's White person is an increasingly isolated individual who no longer has the benefit of a real ethnic community that holds living space. If a number of the people who suffer the most from this collapse are concentrated into a target area, all the outsiders will voluntarily flee.

This will suddenly open up the opportunity for the most perceptive among them to raise up a racially conscious community in the target area, and to guide it in such a way as to culturally terraform all the rest of the White community.

Some of the best material for exploring this theme has come from philosopher John Locke, who was a key source for the founding fathers. Locke said that in a state of nature the individual was threatened, vulnerable, and selfish.

Other observers have added that an isolated person will often express themselves so egotistically that they become unbearable to be around. That includes even many WNs in the political closet who identify with the obsolete type of White community and live without the conscious type of community, PLE, or Stormfront of the street.

And the little books of the longshoreman-philosopher Eric Hoffer - especially the Ordeal of Change and the True Believer - are useful. Hoffer saw the nonconformists and misfits as the the mainspring of change. And most of those opposing the decline of our race are alienated enough to fit that description.

Without question, this is an excellent article. To be candid, as a newcomer to Stormfront, I'm just now starting to review this forum. Up until now, I've been trying to get up-to-speed on myriad topics discussed over the very large landscape that is this website.

I'm glad I finally made my way in here. The dominant theme of this forum is one that, to be honest, I'm most interested in exploring in greater detail. A white homeland for me, my wife, and my children is something that I would love to see come about more than anything.

Thanks for the great work you're doing here. Please know that I appreciate it more than words can express.

D.P.

Thank you for the encouragement, as this work would be much more difficult without friends like yourself.

These proposed Stormfronts of the street (aka PLEs) are not only to be open to those who advocate political and miltant remedies, but open even to those who are solely into pro-White cultural pursuits.

Why? Because people tend to move around in the positons that they take anyway, especially today where there is no actual conscious community for them to participate in except on-line.

Additionally, cultural pursuits will permit people to cooperate - and advance their PLE - long before they are more specific about their views and long range plans.

Thank you for checking that out. I'd also estimate by your signature that you have a special interest in freedom - which the Spartans in the new movie '300' mention a number of times - so I'll take this opportunity to recommend this book:

Hanson, Victor Davis 'Carnage and Culture - Landmark Battles In The Rise of Western Power' New York, New York: Random House 2001

* In my personal view, 300 actually came up a bit short when it comes to things that women would be interested in, but what little was in there for them was right on target.
